Patient Relations Overview
Should you or your family have a question or concern about your experience at our hospital, we would like to hear from you. Help us see things through your eyes as we strive to deliver the best possible care to our patients.
We suggest you first discuss your concern with your nurse, the department manager or your doctor. If the concern remains unresolved, the Patient Relations staff is available to help.
If you let us know about your concern two things will happen:
-
You will give us the opportunity to solve your problem
-
In solving your problem, we learn how to provide better service.
